This is a double degree program offered by the Department of Electronic Engineering that enables completion of a Bachelor of Electronic Engineering degree in combination with a Masters level degree in telecommunications. This course is designed to produce graduates with specialist skills in telecommunication engineering who will be able to design telecommunication devices, circuits, and systems and therefore obtain employment in one of the many telecommunication companies now in Australia. It will provide training in electronic engineering to graduate engineer level, as well as training in the specialty of telecommunication engineering. The communications engineer today is faced with many challenges because of the rapid advances in computer, internet, multimedia, and telecommunication technologies. Communications is now of great importance to organisations of all sizes and to all people. As a result, communications is now the fastest growing industry sector in the world.
